On February 20, 1986, a new generation station, called Mir, was launched into orbit. The launch of Mir was timed to coincide with the XXVII Congress of the CPSU. How the new station was created is told by the participants in this process themselves: designers, astronauts who lived and worked at the station. After the collapse of the USSR, the station was helped to stay in orbit by the joint Mir-Shuttle program with the United States. For the Americans, who realized that they had lost a lot by abandoning the orbital stations, such cooperation was extremely beneficial in terms of obtaining the technologies they lacked. For the Russian cosmonautics, it was just a way to survive. On March 23, 2001, the Mir station was deorbited and sunk in the Pacific Ocean. It was a tragedy for everyone involved in this project. Cosmonauts, scientists, designers candidly talk about how they experienced this moment. Not just the Mir station was flooded, the national space program was also flooded. And only now Russia is starting to create its own space station. The film uses exclusive archives of the creation of the station, life at the station, and experiments carried out at the Mir station.

For several years, scientists studying images of our planet from space have been talking about an unusual phenomenon that periodically appears on the surface of the deepest lake in the world, at Baikal. Every year, when the lake is covered with ice, huge concentric circles of regular shape appear on it. They are not visible from the earth, but from space these huge geometric figures are clearly visible.

The film tells about the ISS, the audience will see for the first time "from the inside", how the astronauts are preparing for the flight, what they feel during the launch, how they live and work on the ISS.
